More RAM will indeed help with several applications, including Vue. It all depends upon what you are doing and what software. Keep in mind it must be a 64 bit application and 64 bit OS like Windows 7 64 or Mac Leopard to take advantage of the full RAM use.

3DWorld did several comparisons on this a while back, I think in 2008 sometime. Software like C4D often took advantage of as much RAM as it can handle. They also did video card roundup and yes, water cooling kits are fantastic for both CPU and video cards. I always use a quality system somewhere around $700-1000 and do some cool UV and liquid coolant colors. Be sure you know what you are doing and read up on this if it is your first time. You don't want to ruin your computer by having a leak or it not installed right and frying something you think is working.

I run several applications on my Mac under both the Mac OS and Windows 7 RC and know that memory does make a BIG difference. But like I said, it depends on the software or what you are doing in that software that matters to the usage. Personally, I would recommend 10-16GB of RAM for any new system where you are doing a lot of graphic or video work with it.

Best of luck.
